A Grumpy Fella!!

Hello again :0)

I was inspired to craft yesterday after seeing the Cats n' Dogs themed challenge at Less is More. Chrissie has used this little character called Magnum on one of her inspiration cards and I knew just how I could use him on a card along with a Stampendous stamp....


Magnum is a digi stamp from Ladybug Crafts Ink but I have prized him from his cat flap... it needed a shoe horn and plenty of grease to do it... Lol. Now he's punched through my card front instead because he's not happy that someone should dare to be jolly and say "HAPPY" birthday!! 
The torn paper hole is a cling stamp from Stampendous which I just had to buy after I saw fellow limette Debby use it for a challenge quite a while back :0) I've Paper pieced the flaps and raised them up on foam for realistic dimension and the sentiment is computer generated, the font is 'Aint nothing Fancy'... love its simple shape :0) 

Just to annoy Magnum even more I'm popping him in over at Addicted to CAS where they're having a birthday challenge... perhaps that will improve his mood!!!
                                                           
                                                              ***********************
I think it was obvious from an early age that I was an animal lover, my choice of toys, games and books reflected that and I even had an imaginary dog called spot that went everywhere with me!!
I think my parents always thought I'd have a house full of animals in later life..... well kids aren't that far off are they!! Lol :0)

Thanks for stopping by

  19. You are funny Jenny - love the character you've created here! It reminds me of the James Herriot story about when he goes with Tristan to visit the lady with hundreds of cats and has to catch the vicious tom! Love the way the cat has apparently torn his way through the card front! Vicky x

  28. Whenever the kids are driving us particularly nuts, my hubs turns to me & says "I thought we should have dogs, but NOOOOooooo...."
    I go back & forth on whether kids or pets are more insanity-provoking!
    I love this grouchy cat - what a face!
